NYC-ARTS On the Go

2013 Martin Luther King, Jr. Concert Series

The free Martin Luther King, Jr. Concert series presents concerts by outstanding African-American and Caribbean stars of R&B, reggae, hip-hop, gospel, pop, soul and more. Six concerts are staged outdoors at Brooklyn’s Wingate Field (within Wingate Park) on Monday nights with Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds as the opening act on July 15 and Gladys Knight and the O’Jays closing the series on August 19. The public is encouraged to bring chairs because seating is limited.

The nearest subway is two blocks away: take the 2 or 5 to Winthrop Street. The park is bordered by Winthrop Street, Brooklyn Avenue, Rutland Road and Kingston Avenue. A private parking lot is located at Kings County Hospital on Winthrop Street between Albany and Brooklyn Avenues.
